This is TDB DVR-212D RPC-1 v1.15 Firmware and using the Media Code Speed Edit tool and applying “Allow Same To Same Flashing” patch to the Official Pioneer DVR-212D Flasher you will be able to upgrade to Official Pioneer unmodified version 1.21/1.22/1.24 Firmwares if that is what you desire.

Oh, yeah. Thanks. I forgot that I followed that route for my DVR-111D drive.

The reason I wanted to be able to switch back and forth is that I'm comparing write strategies. I found that despite the fact that the EU Pioneer site clearly states that MKM-001 media at 6X CLV, it in fact uses ZCLV, with 4X for only the first 670 MB or so, and also a similar amount on the second layer (if it is a full disc) near the burning end. This is with 1.24 firmware. This seems VERY backward. My DVR-111 drives are able to burn at 6X CLV on this media without issue and with great quality...
